Dave Matthews Band - "Dreams Of Our Fathers" lyrics

Oh, I’m choking,
I’m choking
On the smoke from
This burning house
I claw and I scrape
But I can’t seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That’s scratching
From the ground
Oh, it’s my world, too
But whose gold is this
I’m digging out'

When we go,
Where we go
When we’re dead
Is the verdict still out'
Do we get into line
To line up with
Those long dead now'
With the muffled
Tears of sorrow
Bones underground
Is this time our time'
Yes, it is
Without or with
This shadow of doubt

I don’t want to wake up
Lost in the
Dreams of our fathers
Oh, it’s such a waste child
To live and die for the
Dreams of our fathers
Though I must confess, yes
My view is a
Wonder about this
This love I possess, love
Must be the
Dreams of ourfFathers

I wanna go,
I wanna run
We turn, so sure
Someone’s looking down
It’s haunting me, haunting me
Leaves us here to get out
Though I don’t believe,
I don’t believe
This flavour in my mouth
Is from my tongue alone
So bitter I wanna
Spit it out

I repeat these words
They come out
Under the blue
Light in the sky
My empty pages
Are filling up
With these wicked lies
But I hear deep in myself
An echo, an echo
Of empty, empty emptiness
